| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Haha magic fairy dust is expensive. Yeah who would have thought that shielding closed the sound but I guess it makes sense now. Like I said, I’ll try it without shielding, and add it if I need to do it. I literally knew nothing when I started. Th... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? I think it’s funny how people keep popping in and asking if this thread is serious. Although I didn’t know what I was talking about when I started the thread, I have learned that if you make them or have them made, you don’t have to spend a millio... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? I think we are actually in the middle of a cellular drop zone lol Thanks! Worst case I add shielding later but I think I will be alright. | |
| Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts CTSooner, You are probably going to cringe when I tell you that I didn’t audition the Anthem amp, but it was too good of a deal to pass up. The Marantz sounded nice to me, but they all sound nice in the store. Again, I found too good of a deal on ... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? All,I am announcing my purchase. Grannyring commented a little while back. He makes cables under the name “Acoustic BBQ” right here on Audiogon.I bucked up and spent more than anticipated, but I am convinced they are the best setup for the money, ... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Man this turned out to be a great thread from a new knucklehead like me trying to learn the ropes. I have learned so much. I am still confused about:1. Whether I will be sorry if I don’t get any shielding since the Duelund wire seems awesome. 2. W... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? I’m still up in the air and starting to watch videos to build my own. If I buy some Duelund wire and make it unshielded, how do I add a drain line?Are the Duelund makers in this post not using a drain wire? | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? By the way everybody my speakers are Monitor Audio Gold and my speaker wires are 12AWG Phantom Speaker Cables rated for FT-4 in wall use from Infinite Cables in Canada. Check out the number of strands! | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Thanks guys. I will check them out Taww. Also, the President of Parts Connexion answered me and said that I don’t even need Shielded cables for a short interconnect application for signals. Now I am back to thinking about those Duelunds. Sorry, th... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Hold on Terry, I think I may be seeing things This looks too good to be true. They show Canare F-9s with the Starquad but I don’t see mention of them or a drop down to select the connects.https://m.markertek.com/product/sc3rryw/canare-star-quad-au... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Ok great, thanks guys. So I’m on the right track. On Ebay I found a guy in Greece that makes Belden 20awg 8402 Shielded with a choice of rca connectors like the switchcraft 3502AAU and uses Cardas Quad Eutectic Silver Solder with Rosin Flux for $6... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? Thanks for helping with my confusion TLS49!I am connecting a Marantz 7704 preamp processor to an Anthem PVA 7 amp. I just ordered them both and they are in the mail. I need one cable per channel right? | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? After reading the very very interesting article by Jeff Day, it looks like I need shielded wire. https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/duelund-coherent-audio-dca16ga-premium-tinned-copper-v...Since shielded Duelund’s make the price jump qu... | |
| Bi-amp through receiver vs pre out to 2 channel for fronts I have really nice speaker cable from Canada called Phantom cable. It’s 12ga.I can explain what I learned about using the subwoofer (for bass management) between the pre amp and amp instead of an integrated amp if you would like.The Atoll 5 channe... | |
| BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH? I think I studied the strands of the BJC in the past for speaker wire and they didn’t compare to what I normally buy, Phantom Speaker Cable, and figured I would just stick with Phantom rather than go to BJC. Plus it sounds weird but I can’t stand ... |
